As a counselor, I utilize both relational and body-mind approaches. One of my preferred modalities is Somatic Experiencing, which is a therapeutic approach used to address trauma-related stress responses. I enjoy working with adult clients of all ages, backgrounds, and therapeutic goals. I have a particular interest in working with clients looking to resolve trauma, address relational or attachment issues, and to explore content around identity and sexuality. I come from a social justice and queer background. I work to provide competent and accessible services to people experiencing oppression, and likewise seek to support folks in decolonization work.
My prior clinical and professional experience involves working as a counselor in outpatient and inpatient settings, acting as a web-based coach, providing youth and young adult mentorship, training and education, and instructing various mind-body practices. I have a Masters of Education (M.Ed) in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Ohio University, and I’m a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) in-training at the Advanced level.

My approach to counseling incorporates the information our bodies provide as it relates to our mental health. This awareness coupled with the thoughts and emotions that we experience can provide a new insight into how to improve relationship to others and ourselves. The theories that inform my approach include Relational-Cultural, Emotionally Focused and Mind-Body Therapies. I believe the client is the expert in what they need, and it is my role to work collaboratively with the client to help them reach their goals. The counseling experience provides an opportunity to be truly seen, heard and accepted.
I have had diverse experiences that have led me to this point, including work in the service industry, as a support person for survivors of sexual assault, providing queer-centered community sex education, and as a union labor organizer. My experiences, relationships, interests and personal healing journey have led me to this point of feeling ready to help others as they navigate their own paths.
I graduated with a Master of Arts from Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s Clinical Mental Health Counseling program. I have also completed a Mind-Body Therapy certificate program through Embodied Philosophies. I have experience working with adults 18 and older. I enjoy working with individuals exploring their identities, navigating depression and anxiety, and those searching for connection and meaning. I am poly, kink and LGBTQIA+ affirming, and trauma informed.

It’s hard to navigate a world that was built against your needs. As a queer, nonbinary, neurodivergent person of color, I recognize the impact of oppressive systems on mental health. My approach to therapy involves untangling experiences with marginalization and complex trauma, as well as helping clients develop authenticity, boundaries, and self-advocacy skills.
I practice eclectically, drawing from person-centered, feminist, and narrative theories, as well as the social model of disability. I have a particular interest in working with LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and BIPOC folx, or anyone impacted by systems such as ableism, classism, fatphobia, xenophobia, etc. I am also passionate about working with adult adoptees in processing grief, loss, separation and attachment trauma.

I approach therapy as a relational process that can help scaffold and build upon strengths a client brings into the office. My work is informed by a background in social and environmental justice organizing, community herbalism, working with queer/trans communities and sexual assault survivors. Some of our work together may involve an exploration of larger social, cultural, familial, and ecological systems that clients are situated within.
I have a Master of Science (MSCP) in Counseling Psychology from Chatham University, and I’m a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) in-training at the Advanced level. Somatic Experiencing is a modality that aims to help the body complete natural threat response cycles that are thwarted when trauma occurs. Through bringing greater awareness to the body and tracking sensations, we will work towards understanding and shifting automatic nervous system reactions that are no longer serving you.
I have particular interest in working with queer/trans folks, poly folks and couples/polycules, and people working to resolve trauma and attachment issues.

I am excited to be expanding the practice to include supervising the exceptional therapists listed above.
I have a waiting list for people who already have a primary therapist, but want to work short-term on event specific traumas – such as assault, rape, car accidents, surgery, dog bites, injuries, and receiving traumatic news.
Trainings I have completed include the following:
